Master & both rear wheel cylinders leaking brake fluid.my next door neighbor also had the same thing happen on his low mileage 1995 buick lesabre which is the same is the same platform. Seals on brake cylinders should not leak on such low mileage. This is a quality defect in my judgement and a safety problem. Thank you.

Windshield wiper/washer-do not function properly unless wiper switch is turned to 'high' and then down to the interval I need. I had to pull off the highway at 70mph when I turned the washers on and the wipers did not come on. Oldsmobile has refused to correct. Air conditioning-knob fell off in my hand this afternoon. I cannot select the defrost mode and it is cold and raining. Abs modulator valve was replaced by oldsmobile (I thought the federal safety agency would like to know). Air conditioning-evaporator was replaced at 38798 miles. Oldsmobile refused to reimburse because I had the work done at a nearby chevrolet dealer since smoke was pouring out of the vents and into the passenger compartment. Alternator died at 39196 miles and oldsmobile refused to reimburse me.
